Written by Michael Hastings, and directed by Michael Winner, THE NIGHTCOMERS opens. Speculative, brooding, palpably wintry, provocatively perverse prequel to Henry James' The Turn of the Screw (filmed in 1961 as The Innocents) with Marlon Brando's dishevelled Irish gardner and Stephanie Beecham's prim governess lustily dialing up the ill-fated sexual intrigue.
